I love that tall guy, honestly. I wonder if he appears anywhere post-game...

Spoiler:- plot:

The ending was AMAZING. It really got me surprised... and I teared up, haha. :') Such a beautiful game... such a shame it's over. I wish I could replay the story or cutscenes, at least... whoa. Also, is that Floette shiny?

Spoiler:- Continuing on this:

I don't know if it's shiny, I just figured it was unique because it was resurrected/from 3000 years ago. It's flower is definitely different to other Floette's, maybe because it attached to a flower that no longer exists in the present? I'm kind of hoping they make it available for capture or as an event because it's too unique to render in the game engine just for that one scene at the end.

Spoiler:- Answer:

Sycamore should give you a train pass to Kiloude City - from there, challenge the Battle Maison to at least one battle (earning at least 1BP), at which point your rival should appear to the North of the city. Battle them, win, etc. and then return to Lumiose, where the Looker missions will begin.

The "tall guy" is a really interesting and mysterious character. And I wonder who he really was in the past. And I realized something. So time for more theories and rumors! XD :

Spoiler:

AZ was a "King" after all, and something about him bothered me. His story could have so much potential! And if you visit the parfum castle once again you will find a picture that "reminds the player of AZ"! So they hint that AZ was the owner of the parfum palace 3000 years ago! And what else is in the parfum palace? A biiig garden with 2 statues of reshiram and zekrom!
So maybe AZ had contact Unova and their legends somehow. Maybe he had contact with another King in Unova. The one from the underwater ruins, perhaps?

Another interesting fact is: The parfum palace is right next to geosenge town on the map. He just had to find a secret passage to pass this mountain. I think it would've been dangerous to take the route south from the palace over cyllage city to reach geosenge because of the war between north and south kalos. I think it was war between south and north because both armies clashed on route 10 after all.

I know who cares, and nothing of that will be official clarified in the future. But I just love to speculate. And I want to find every hint game freak gave us with XY!

Yesterday I realized the Gen VI lacks one of the things that made Gen V so great in terms of story, and that is the role of the Gym Leaders. They went from being fleshed-out characters with personalities back to being static, elemental cut-outs. Well, aside from Korrina and maybe Clemont, anyway (and possibly Wulfric as well but I haven't gotten to him yet). In Gen V, the Gym Leaders even offerred you advice - something that made them seem more like real experts. However, that, along with the Gym Leaders other than Viola, Grant, Korrina, and Clemont having "dayjobs," is unfortunately absent in Gen VI.

Another thing that kind of bothers me is that, once again... Spoiler:- Team Flare spoilers:

NOBODY helps you out against Team Flare other than two of your friends and the "Masked Heroes." One would think that Diantha would maybe step in right about the time when Lysandre was trying to commit genocide on a global scale, but nope. All she does is thank you later on for doing what she should have done. At least Lance, Cynthia, and Alder did something about the villanous teams in their regions; hell, Iris lifted more of a finger against Team Plasma than Diantha did against Team Flare.

I'll never forget how, in Platinum, she just stands there and refuses to lift a finger to help you against Cyrus.
That's even worse than being absent, in my humble opinion.

I always saw that as being more "Lucas/Dawn stepping in and challenging Cyrus themselves" than "Cynthia making them do it in her place."

The exchange goes:

Cynthia: "...So you were already here. Why do you seek to change the world? If you hate our world you should just go off somewhere alone. Find somewhere where you can live without seeing others."
Cyrus: "Why should I run and hide from the world and have to wait quietly? My aim is to rid our world of the vague and incomplete thing we call spirit. By freeing ourselves of that, our world can be made complete. That is my justice! No one can interfere!"
Cynthia (if talked to): "But... That's no justice at all!"

At which point Lucas/Dawn prove Cyrus wrong by taking upon themselves to interfere. Cynthia was continuing her argument, and Lucas/Dawn interrupted it.

Granted, she could have battled him alongside you but that would have meant a 2-on-1 battle supporting the protagonist and we know we can't have that

Speaking of AZ, in Parfum Palace there's a painting of a man in regal outfit. Could that man in the painting be him or someone else? Anyways, I bet AZ had some connection with the Kings of Unova and perhaps waged war with them overtime. I can imagine a battalion of pawinard in columns and rows with Bisharps leading them to challenge the Unova King.

Okay, er; I'm not sure if this is the right thread, exactly. I hope so!

Spoiler:- Spoiler:

You see; in Lumiose City, I went into a uh.. building, I forget which; it had three floors. I went to the second, and my screen flashed black like a cutscene. A woman in a black/purpleish dress, and black hair hovers in (literally, one foot midair), and says "No.. you're not the one.". Heads south, and offscreen. I follow, whole floor is empty! Further on, I find the same woman (Seemingly) standing in the fancy hotel there, saying to be quiet, as she wont be able to hear the elevator. (She seemed almost startled). How do I continue this mini story, if possible?

Those are Hex Maniacs or as I call them, G-rated Tharjas or Misdreavus Gijinkas. You'll encounter them starting Route 15. I thought she had psychic abilities and just played a prank. She is good Pokepasta inspiration though.

Thanks xD I didn't know it was. In previous games, the hex maniacs had the hats (Or well, the ones I played haha)

You know, I just had a thought of a possible role for Zygarde in a potential 3rd installment. It's classified the Order pokemon and "monitors those who destroy the ecosystem" right? What if Zygarde sensed Team Flare's impending attempt at global genocide and its way of keeping order was to manipulate events of the universe so that you (the protagonist) were able to thwart Team Flare? Or better yet it manipulated the universe to create your entire existence? A year on in the 3rd installment and Lysandre learns of Zygarde's involvement and goes after it for any potential number of reasons.

I'd like to imagine the Ultimate Weapon is what caused the Abyssal Ruins and the Desert Resort castles to become the ruins they became, so Kalos maybe waged War against Unova, since both countries had kingdoms and such to war against for territory (assuming the 2 are connected via a landmass).

It's not the same woman in the hotel - I went to the hotel before having that encounter.

Hmm... Maybe it partially damaged the ultimate weapon, considering it's a Ground-type and the weapon was underground as well.

I was thinking more of Xerosic using it for his own ends, as we barely get to see him in the main story.

I have to agree with you on the Gym Leaders. The only ones that really stand out as characters are Korrina and Wulfric. Sure, you see some of the others outside their Gyms once, but they don't really do anything (Grant gives you the Strength HM, Clemont just turns on some lights). It didn't help that most of the Gym Leaders were pathetically easy this time around, so they never really got more than 5 minutes of screen time. What I found stranger than that was that the Elite 4 feel like more fleshed out characters than the Gym Leaders, which is incredibly odd, considering it's normally the opposite.

They are quite annoying, but what I really find annoying is the nickname they give you. They use it all the time. I chose mine without putting much thought into it and now I hate it. Is there any way to change it?

Ouch, not really, haha
Why did you think it would be irrelevant though?

Well, the most rememberable one was definitely the Ice type gym leader, I found the gym leaders a bit too hyped up though, I once, for example, read a back-ground story about the bug-type gym leader (the one with the camera), but at the end, she had like no personality at all... (in game, I mean)

Yeah, Wulfric is probably the best Gym Leader of this generation, but that's not really saying much compared to the others.

Soooo I beat the game yesterday... what. a. game! The ending was so unusual but spectacular in its own way. About time they gave us a damn parade for saving the world lol.

I love Lysandre, and not just because he looks like a mix between Axel from KH and Shi Long Lang from A.A. Investigations. He's a good villain, despite the fact that the whole concept behind Team Flare was a bit all over the place. The thing with him is that, well... I really honestly couldn't find a single flaw in his logic.

You know that moment when the bad guy makes his monologue about his idea of a solution for a better world? Usually when you play through those moments you can tell right away what was terribly wrong with their reasoning, and you could imagine yourself giving them a piece of your mind if you were actually there.

Yeah, except that with him... I really couldn't. Except for the whole "kill everyone" plan being the best solution, everything he said was absolutely true. In an actual argument, I really wouldn't have known how to contradict him, if not by insisting that the solution he presented was way too extreme.
